GIRAFFADOOR

24″ x 84″ Mixed Media on Door

A skinny tall door was the perfect place for this giraffe like pattern.  So, Giraffadoor was born.  I like painting on doors now.  They are a good size canvas and there are always people on Craig’s List getting rid of them.  If anyone has any extra doors layin’ around let me know.

ROSARIO

22″ x 24″ Aerosol on Wood

 

 

My wife thinks that I’m making art with celebrities on it so that I can end up meeting them.  That might not be a bad idea.  Thanks wife.  It’s not part of the plan, but if any of these find their way into a celeb’s hands it couldn’t hurt in helping the cause.  Rosario is my second choice anyways, so she’s got nothing to worry about.

OLIVE LOAF

24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

This one is kinda cool.  Not that it is one of my favorites that I have made so far, but because it is on video.  Yes, that’s right.  Click here for the time lapse:  Olive Loaf Time Lapse.  Olive Loaf is brought to you by Kevin Lee Studios.

SORRY

24″ x 24″ Watercolor on Wood

 

 

He gave her the only thing in this world that means anything.  She tossed it on the floor like a dead squid.  Now she’s mad at him for being mad at her.  She said she was sorry.  He believes her, but wants to let her sweat it out a little first before accepting her apology.

WAITING  (SOLD)

24″ x 44″ Mixed Media on Wood

Sometimes surfing is a waiting game.  The ocean can be as flat as glass or crazy rough with waves coming from all directions.  But we wait.  We wait.  And we wait some more.  Because even if we only ride one wave that day, it make that day a whole lot better.

ROB MACHADO

24″ x 36″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Rob Machado is not just some “surfer dude” who hangs out in the water all day getting stoked on waves man.  He is a person that cares about the environment and helping people.  His foundation provides funding for educational programs focused on helping children understand their contribution towards a healthy earth (RMF).  So, next time you think that these guys are just a bunch of beach bums, think again.  Most of them care about this planet we live on and are trying to help preserve it.

RAP GOD  (SOLD)

48″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Is there a Jesus?  Is there a God?  Is there nothing?  I like to believe that there is some sort of higher power out there.  I’m not sure who or what it is or what to even call it, but I like the sound of God.  I like the religious stories that have been passed down through time.  I don’t think Lil’ Wayne is Jesus or God, but who am I to say.  What if God is in all of us at some time or another?  What if he/she just jumps from one body to the next?  Maybe that is how people become “God-like”.  Maybe that is when people actually reach their full potential.

CHANT DOWN

11″ x 12″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

 

Babylon is all around us.  It is the government.  It is the various systems that are in place trying to govern our existence to fit certain molds.  Consumerism, material wealth, politricks, money and more, are these the things that really matter today?  They were put in place to put the people in their place.  Chant dem down!  Sing the songs of revolution and inform the people that we do not need these systems.  We need to live off the land and be free!  Chant dem down!  Don’t be a victim of the system anymore.  Chant dem down with the sounds of reggae music!  Jah Live!

RASTAMAN VIBRATIONS

24″ x 48″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

Rastaman Vibrations… Positive!  I felt like this title was an appropriate name seeing how I’ve got the Rasta colors (green, yellow, red) in it and they seem to be vibrating out.  The Rastaman is casting his spell of positive vibes to all… negative thinking.. don’t you waste your thoughts!

FUNKY TILE FLOOR

48″ x 96″ Mixed Media on Wood

 

This is the largest painting I have made so far.  The more I paint the more I enjoy working on larger scale pieces.  They do take way more time and probably don’t suit what I’m trying to accomplish, but I can’t get enough.  I guess it’s a win win either way.
